After a comment elsewhere today the ideal of love was mentioned love to me comes in many ways and can relate to different things.

For me though love is viewed in the Classical Sense.

Agape (ἀγάπη agápē) means love in modern day Greek. The term s'agapo means I love you in Greek. The word agapo is the verb I love. It generally refers to a "pure", ideal type of love rather than the physical attraction suggested by eros. However, there are some examples of agape used to mean the same as eros. It has also been translated as "love of the soul".

The way I love and feel for the individual beauty of a persons inner being or indeed the way I have a love of nature, beauty, art, music, literature and how I percieve the powers of the universe.

Eros (ἔρως érōs) is passionate love, with sensual desire and longing. The Greek word erota means in love. Plato refined his own definition. Although eros is initially felt for a person, with contemplation it becomes an appreciation of the beauty within that person, or even becomes appreciation of beauty itself. Eros helps the soul recall knowledge of beauty, and contributes to an understanding of spiritual truth. Lovers and philosophers are all inspired to seek truth by eros. Some translations list it as "love of the body".

The Love I feel via desire

Philia (φιλία philía), a dispassionate virtuous love, was a concept developed by Aristotle. It includes loyalty to friends, family, and community, and requires virtue, equality and familiarity. Philia is motivated by practical reasons; one or both of the parties benefit from the relationship. Can also mean "love of the mind".

My love of a concept my caring for friends, family etc

Storge (στοργή storgē) is natural affection, like that felt by parents for offspring.

The Love I cannot help but feel, the love and wish to protect my son

Xenia (ξενία xenía), hospitality, was an extremely important practice in Ancient Greece. It was an almost ritualized friendship formed between a host and their guest, who could previously be strangers. The host fed and provided quarters for the guest, who was only expected to repay with gratitude. The importance of this can be seen throughout Greek mythology, in particular Homer's Iliad and Odyssey.

This is the love and generosity I show to those who are invited into my space, (this is akin to the Celtic Concept of being a protective and gracious host.)
